Cupramine vs copper safe

I do prefer Coppersafe over Cupramine; make sure you also buy an API copper test kit to measure it with. You can mix it with Prazipro in a pinch, although it is not optimal to do so because of the possibility of causing a bacterial bloom.

I just ordered some Coppersafe, too. I was making an Amazon order anyway, so I just threw it in

Awesome, thanks. I have an API kit that I purchased for cupramine, and then realized it wasn't applicable to the type of copper. Lol

I use the Seachem copper test kit (mostly because it was all I could get in a pinch). According to the instructions, it measures all types of copper. FYI.

@robby2782 Can you tell me what is says underneath the table? "Conclusion: this product complies with the stands of "?". I can't read it.
The blurb underneath as well..... "the above information is a direct translation of the information provided from the manufacturer. It should only be used for educational purposes and not intended for strict quality control analysis by the purchaser of this product". It sounds like that cert is great proof, but I've had analysis done and that's not what it looks like. A useful analysis tests and TELLS you wants in it. This is looking at the information the manufacturer supplied, so that's not worth much unless there's more information on there to corroborate what he's saying.
Where's the certificate of who did the analysis. It has to be verifiable, or it could have been typed up my his Mamma. Is there more information on there than what I can see on the paper?

I would stay away from that vendor. I know you're not going that way, but for anyone else reading...

Sorry, I didn't see you post that. I lived in Corpus and was a member of that aquarium....
Robby, that totally looked like a legit purchase. There's just some things missing to make his claims legit.

Seachem and sailifert are best for cupramine, API for coppersafe. It's because of the range of optimal measurement

It's better for cupramine than it is coppersafe, IMO

Lol this is great. You're famous HumblefishSee attached. You'll laugh at his initial response. Lol
I didn't even have to tell him who warned me about it. Haha
This is where it is stated to have come from.

The CP I'm currently using is from that specific guy on Ebay (jweage). This is the 2nd time i've used it and so far I gotta say i'm impressed. I will let you guys know if my fishes break out though. Honestly, that company may be trying to stretch the truth to sell their product, but I think the CP is legit. It's been working well. I work with multiple doctors who will write me a script for anything I need, so if I have any problems it's not a big deal. I'll just get some CP from the pharmacy, but if it ain't broke- I ain't tryin' to fix it. lol
I do want to try some Coppersafe though. You guys got me interested.

I used Cupramine in the past with great success. Do not use simultaneously with Prime.
Once done, use carbon to extract. Overload on the amount of carbon that you use to extract it, meaning the more the merrier. Salifert makes a decent copper test kit.

So which one should I pick up? CopperPower or CopperSafe?
